Finally, this book would not have been possible without extraordinary
contributions by the MIT CISR Data Board. Since 2015, several hundred
data and analytics leaders have piloted and perfected surveys, cleared
schedules for research interviews and virtual discussions, debated findings,
and shared struggles and wins. These lifelong learners are curious,
encouraging, and enthusiastic partners who elevate our research and help
move the field forward. We are grateful to every one of you. Thanks to
those who helped establish the board and create a spirited community:
